the British commissioners and teachers
In America, the American teachers will
find no lack of willing gulOanc and ex
pert assistance.
"The visiting teachers, we art In
formed." .continues the Times, "will come
from ail parts of ths country, principally
from elementary, secondary and manual
training schools, a largs proportion of
them being women, who. In America, ars
in a large majority in all grades of the
teaching profession below ths universi

years ago, though there was an equal

teachers wer men; the main cause, no
doubt, being that salaries offered are not
sufficient to tempt them In face of the
mors lucrative openings for any young
maa of brains and push. It was noted.
Indeed, fey the Moeely commissioners as
a curious anomaly In American education
that a paopla which so thoroughly appre
ciate ths value of education, and ac
qulescea so cheerfully In expenditure upon
school buildings snd plant that would
horrify ths British rate-payer, baa not
fully grasped ths fact that It is ths hu
man factor In -education which, after all.
matters most, snd that for any school
system to be thoroughly efficient, there
Helmut be liberal expenditure not only on
- material, but on brains. Prof. Sadler con
stantly preaches this doctrine to county
councils and ethers that ask bis advice,
and though, as things now are, our Amer
lean visitors will find la English schools
a larger . proportion of male to female
teachers than they are accustomed to at
home, grave fears are being felt In some
charters that English education Is drift
ing too much into ths hands of woman.
In secondary schsols the absence as yet)

educational' system makes this difficulty
less felt hare. With as. boys' schools

4 and. If It be the rase, as this seems to show, ;
that American educationists are nat unanl-
" bkiui upon the-co-educatioi-al principle, our
visitors may find in our English system
material for comparison with their own
that may help them in their efforts to se
cure educational perfection. America is the
land of educational experiment to a degree
unknown la a country where old traditions,
social and other, and (for elemeutery edu
cation at any ratej the uniformity begotten
cf central administration bava a tendency
to stifle originality and healthy freedom
of experiment, Co-education Is as yet in
Its infancy here, and it is sttll uncertain
whether a system extensively adopted else
where can be transplanted successfully to
a different soil ar.d different social condi
tions. But tie problem of how to secure
an adequate proportion of men teachers
concerns this country as we! though not
so acutely, as It concerns America; and on
this, as on other edacstionsl topics, in
creased knowledge by one nation of ths
theory and rraotlcs of another Is valuable,
not to enable one to imitate another, but
that 'each may see how others, mutatis
mutandis, are desling with problems akin

STATELIEST CF ALL TREES

Tree la
One day Henry Ward Beecher strolled
through sn orchard and fell in love with a
blossoming apple tree. It w Just about
thi time of year. In the pulpit the fol
lowing morning he id:
"An apple tree In full blc-ora 1 like a
message sen from ertb to heaven cf
purity and beauty. We walk around it
reverently and admiringly. Horr.ely a it
ordinarily la. yet now It rpeak of the
munificence of God better than any other
tree. The oak proclaima strength snd
rugged simplicity. The pine is a solitary,
stately fellow. Even in forests each tree
seoir alone, and has a sad. Castlln-like
pride. Tli e'.m 1 a prince; grace and
glory are on its head. But none of these
speaks such thoughts of abundsnce, such
prodigal and munificent richness, such lav
ish, unsparing generosity aa thia sam
plain and homely an le tree. The very
glory of God seems resting upon It. It i a
little inverted hemisphere, like that above
It, and it daily mimics with bud and bloom
the stars thst nightly blossom out la the
gsrkness above It. Though Us hour of
glory is short. Into it Is concentrated a
magnifioence which puts all the more
stalely trees lnts tha background. If men
will not admire, insects and ..biids will."
Beecher could thunder beauty into any
thing If be felt In the Tela. It was aa ap
ple tree (according to report) that caused
the perpetual exile of the human race
from Edea and reduced poor Mother Eve
to a condition of servitude. It was an ap
ple tree mat elected Grant ptealdmal ot li

ANY a man with a patience like Job's loses his temper
after a day of weary house hunting. By the time the
last long flight of stairs is climbed, and a district that
seems like a square mile is explored without results, the house
or flat hunter begins to think it might have been a good idea
to have looked over the classified ads in The Bee.
For every family that needs a home, and needs it within
a certain rental or limitations, there is surely awaiting exactly
the place they want, if they but seek it in the one and only
logical way through The Bee classified ads
The landlord has the very home you want, but he doesn't
know you or know you want it? you want the very house or flat
he has, but you don't know him or that he has it. The way you
are both likely to know each other is through a business introduce
tion by a Bee ad.
Before you go home hunting again, just check up with a pen'
cil all Eee house and flat ads that appeal to you, arrange them
by streets and numbers, and you will find what you want in a frac
tion of the time you would otherwise waste in aimless tramping.

Lft wek tn insurance underwriter
of Chicago witnessed a test of a substitute
for wood which is declared 1c hsve been
bh! ratirfsctcry. Poors, window shutter
and variou other articles made of the new
substance were submitted to the greaust
pouf'ble artificial heat for so large a
coll ctlon of materiel, and the rerult ws
nj appreciable Oair.age. Even with a blow
pipe small ;ecimen were so refractory
that they had a higher teristing power
than steel. A a consequence the hope of
getting s fuhMitute for wood thst Is cheap
snd durable seem possirle cf realisation.
As the Inventor have little to y about
the material used exoept thst It Is a
mineral product from European mines s.nd
very cheep, a good deal of reserve must
be mairtalneid, but It certainly will l-e a
great boon ta humanity if the Invention
prove vast it backer claim for It. The
materiil can be tawed and p'.sced like
wood,- but is not celialar in sny sense,
snd is declared to be aa nearly Indestructi
ble e I poKsiMe. It is claimed that the
supply of the material Is practically inex
haustible and that it can be used not oniv
for what !a generally termed mill work,
r-ut In actual censt ruction, having exceeded
the tensile streng-.h of Georgia plr.e, so
that It may be uaed in bridge work and
ordinary frame construction.
While we must await further develop
ments, it may 1 aaid that If this Invention
or discovery Is all that Is claimed for It,
humanity will be a great gainer. The de
crease fn the supply of lumber has been
s notable In late years thst "the cost of
builuir.g has greatly Increased. It Is true
that steel and cement are largely taking
the place of framework, but the rough
bosrds used for mold ta cement work
' TB'jch per tviM feet tt fe
pine did a generation ago. It i not. how
ever, purely a matter of cost that la In
volved, but one of safety from fire.
In thi country we are msklr.g much
progress tn the direction cf f. reproof and
low-burning buildings, but the trouble 1
thai tit old building are atUl in the great
majority. We are careless about fire, as
the enormous losses each year how. If
we cn get a substitute thst is moderately
cheap and durable a graat boon will b
conferred and posterity will not bsre to
worry so mm h because we have been ss
wasteful with our forests Philadelphia

not, do so, and get satisfactory results.
